due in June - except for the lucky few who have already popped!!!

hello

Morning TA...glad to see I'm not the only only that's up. I'm just wondering if two and a half is too young to learn sarcasm? Gave my DD her morning snack and as she didn't respond verbally I prompted her with 'what do you say'. She gave me a really cheeky grin and said 'thank you, you're a very kind mummy'.

LOL BZ
From what I can see perhaps she's just taking after mum

I wasn't too bothered with LO staying inside til due date but as I seem to have quadrupled in size in the last week my feelings have altered somewhat.

Also, the thought of being induced just isn't doing it for me.

Ah TA I can understand where you're coming from...whereas I am keeping my legs crossed for a bit of extra peace and quiet. DH wants it out NOW though. Never known him to be so impatient about anything. Since baby's not due till the 15th he can blardy well wait! And you're right, I do have a dodgy sense of humour. Hope/glad I don't offend.

Offend ME? You have to be kidding, I'm easy

Plus loving the dodgy sense of humour, I left the glittery ticker forums for that very reason, I got sick of all the PC feel the love crap, I much prefer the real women on mumsnet

I want my baby to be a week late. Well, I don't want her to, but its going to be bloody inconvenient if she's on time or early!

BZ, never known you to be offensive. Don't think anyone on here is, or maybe we just aren't fluffy enough to be offended!

BZ - my boys have taken to ending a meal with "thank you for a DELICIOUS dinner Mummy". Now I'm not called ria for no reason!

Surely it's not really Sunday again? Tell me it's an evil conspiracy to wear me down and make me lose the will to live?

And then there's the added evils of Bank Holiday Monday and ... half term (that's a whole week of messy toys and bloody sticky fingers, not to mention the endless bickering - are behaviour charts more effective than the cupboard under the stairs foxy?). I WANT TO GO TO BED FOR A WEEK!

I'd like my baby to wait until 37 weeks - then I can have the option of a home birth and no abs. Otherwise I'll definitely have to go into hospital and have the abs.

We're going to pick up a play house for the DSs today in Surrey - think we've chosen a great day

I get "Thank you for my lovely lunch". Sometimes DS2 will call me "m'darlin'". Am sure he's taking the piss.

Depends on the child, Ria. Charts are extrememly effective for DS1, but DS2 definately responds better to the cupboard under the stairs. DD couldn't give a shit. But that's girls for you!

Ooh, what sort of playhouse Annobel?

LOL Ria. DS1 will say mmmmn, delicious Mummy (then proceed to eat 1 mouthfull and say he's full!)

Forgot about half term, and it is raining all week! Lol re cupboard under the stairs - mine LOVE playing in it

Like this (not this exact one but will keep the boys happy and in the garden in summer)

DS2 has taken to calling me 'chick' - think he picked it up from his northern father - he also calls DH 'mate' - not sure where he got that from

Ideal for keeping them out of the house all summer!

Its miserable here. God knows what we're going to do today. DP gone to work. "Creative Day" I think. Loads of setting up, constant supervision, 5 mins of actual painting, an hour and a half of clearing up. Not my idea of a good time! Ho hum!

Good morning lovely ladies....still here

Still getting contractions and they're sore, but managed a pretty decent sleep. First proper contraction of the day approximately at 9:05 and lasted about 90seconds......will keep you all posted throughout the day.

Bump feels different today as well. Not as soft in between contractions if that means anything......nd my whole fanjo area (inside and out) feels a a bit battered and bruised, IYKWIM.

DS distraught as he thinks DH and I are going to miss his party......so let this bub hang on until 7:00 tonight at least...

Mind you, DH thinks that the ball pit at Wacky Warehouse will do just as well as a big pool of water for labouring in

Morning all - not really meant to be here as I have guests but thought I'd get a quick look in before they get up and I do my domestic goddess breakfast bit! Not caught up yet so apologies if I've missed anything crucial, but just wanted to mention to annobal that the other night I dreamt that she had had her baby - can't remember anything else though! Got to stop dreaming about MN!

Enjoy - especially the full body paint .

Catch up later - I wonder how Daisy is??

we've got a den at the bottom of the garden fashioned from old branches, willow fencing stuff and an old sheet that DH and DS built. DS loves it and like to eat his meals out there....

Was just thinking about you Daisy!

Am sure you can will this baby to hang on. Labouring in the Wacky Warehouse! Couldn't think of anything worse TBH!!!

So do you think this is it? Cos I was on here at 7.05 am waiting for you ... am planning to be here most of today so if you want a virtual birthing partner, I'll volunteer.

Cup of hot, sweet tea dear?

LOL Bumper - still fat here, I'm afraid! Good luck if anything happens today Daisy.

Oooh hi daisy! Just emailed you! Good luck if this is it. Hope you can hang on till the end of the party! Bless the poor mystic red ranger - that wouldn't be a good intro from his new sibling! Hope he had a good birthday btw - and hope you have a good BIRTH-day!

Ok, my money is on 7.17 tonight? Any advance?

She'll still be handing out party bags then! 10pm. I reckon.

LOL Foxy.....I'm not sure. It certainly seems to be building up to something, but like I said yesterday, it could be days yet.

They're sore, but not regular, and there's been no show or anything.

I do have a sudden urge to get this room sorted out though (didn't do anything yesterday)...so maybe nesting is kicking in.

DH looking after me really well and he gave me a lovely bunch of flowers for our wedding anniversary this morning, wheras I forgot to get a card and had to dig one out of my box of cards that I keep for odd occasions. And he's been very nice about it!

Aw, happy anniversary you pair!

Is he scared he's going to have to do the Wacky Warehouse on his own? I would be!

Bit of an extreme way to get out of it, Daisy!

Not immoral betting again?

No chance he would see it as a surprise birthday present then daisy? Good luck. Hoping you aren't in the ball pit...

It's now raining here (just after I put the last peg in the washing.) I suppose that means they can't play outside and therefore won't bring dirt in... wonder if I can convince my parents we want to go to soft play after lunch?

Must go - hunky neigbour to "observe".
